I live in S. IN near Louisville. I want to go to tent sale in Chicago. If anyone from my area, or passing threw to go want to car pool?
Might be fun girls trip 
Super good deal there when I went a few years ago. I just finished using up all the dowles I bought there.
It's June 1st to June 19th
I live near this sale and have never gone....I'm hoping that this will be the year!! I've attempted in the past but the parking is so difficult. You make it sound like I should make the effort so I will! Maybe I'll see you there!
GO GO GO !! That's all I can say. I have been going the last few years and it is just awesome !!! I am planning on hitting it several times this year--not until next week though--the first weekend it opens is absolutely NuTs !!)!)#@)*%$@
What kind of stuff can I expect? Will it matter if I wait until after the opening weekend to find good stuff? (Good stuff being relative since I just asked what they sell....lol)
I was there the whole two weeks a few years back while taking the Master course @ Wilton. It seems like they reload everyday. The last few days they were out of some good deal items and the big items like pewter cake stands, pans sets, and icing colors, the cheap stuff.
You'll find: Cake pans-tons of them CHEAP $2 and $3 lots of character pans too, but I don't really like those. But They some charater pans for $1.50. Makes me wonder about the mark-up 
tips, bags, couplers, dowles, foutains, cake stands (nice ones!) cupcake stands, sep. plates, gum paste, meringue powder ( I just finished using the MP I bought it was like $2 for the $8 jar ), color flow, spaltulas, tons on Wilton books. Then they have cooking stuff too. Skillets, cast iron & other,bakers racks, spice racks, crock pots, stock pots, dishes, aprons, tons of cooking gadgets. I even notice some new items on some days. Most wilton items are about 75% off, not all but many. I also got an extra 10% off because I was in the Master course at that time of the sale.
I flew home during the weekend between classes with two suitcases full of Wilton tent sale items only and when I drove home my car was packed, it's a small car but I had it loaded down. One girl in my class was in a mini van and had it filled! I couldn't afford to buy that much, but I did add up my purchases, you know to see how much I saved 
I spent around $150 for about $700 worth of product.
Advice 1. Make a list of what tips and other items you have before you go. I did end up with things I forgot I had.
2. Don't take Credit card! If I had taken cash I wouldn't have spent more than I wanted to.
3. Don't take kids unless you have too. Tents are outside, and HOT, isle are small and tons of people!
HTH
If you live close---GO!
Thank You! The tips help a lot....kids won't even be an option...I have 4 yar old triplets and another son a year older and THAT wouldn't be pretty woud it? They are lucky when they even see the inside of a store if I'm shopping alone I'll be sure to make a list. Can't wait to see what I get!!!!
and drooling
